Chemachel is a "betelnut package" consisting of the seeded nut, the pepper leaf (kebui), and the lime (chaus). By applying too much lime to a "package" it is possible to burn one's mouth. Although this is sometimes done among young people to signal another secretly of sexual attraction, typically it happens accidentally. The idiom implies that everyone makes mistakes; it can't be helped. No matter how careful we are, we sometimes fail; we shouldn't be too sure or overconfident in ourselves.

> Lukes was sulking because they chewed all of her betelnut.
> My chewing pepper leaves are withered.
> I'm going to get my pepper leaves.
> My budget was low, I could not buy cigarettes.
